Computer
Renaissance operates its franchise system in almost 100
retail outlets throughout the U.S. We are looking to continue
growing our computer franchise system in North America (soon
internationally) and are currently seeking qualified professionals
with energy, drive and enthusiasm who are capable of using
our systems and support to further their own success.

Computer Renaissance has been working with entrepreneurs
and professionals from various backgrounds to build strong
and successful franchises. With almost two decades of experience,
we can provide our independent computer franchises the direction
that helps them achieve the goals they have for their business.
If you want to be in business for yourself but not by yourself
and love technology and helping people, talk to us about the
computer franchise opportunity we have available for you.

Products & Services

We don’t just sell computers; we create solutions. Sounds simple
enough, but it’s what sets us apart from others. By buying, trading
and selling refurbished and new computers, we make sensible, powerful
solutions that meet the majority of computing needs.

If you need the biggest and fastest, we have new systems. If you know
exactly what you want, you might build your own
system from new, brand name, in-store components. If you want to
trade in your current computer, don't go to the Big Box store, come
see us and see what we can do for you. And if you need a sensible system
at a great price, we have all kinds of factory refurbished packages
at great savings. Add a nationwide warranty
and speedy, A+ certified service techs, and
what makes us different ought to be pretty plain to see!

If you are a small business, call us for our unique solutions to your
unique problems. We will perform a full Information Technology Analysis
and recommend the right solutions.

Another unique aspect of Computer Renaissance is our experienced staff.
Our sales people help you make your buying decisions by determining
what you need and suggesting sensible solutions. Our service technicians
are A+ certified; they really know computers and gladly answer your
questions. We know…actually getting the right answer to a technical
question at a computer store seems alarming at first. But you’ll
get used to it. Our expert sales staff is a plus for everyone, and the
buy/sell/trade concept is perfect for families,
singles, seniors and students, but it’s the business client that
first attracted Computer Renaissance creators.
